Why You’ll Love This Delish Ranch Roasted Potatoes
– These are the kind of potatoes that make you want to lick the plate. Seriously.
– They’re slap-you-in-the-face simple. Minimal effort, maximum crunch.
– Pairing them with grilled anything is like capturing summer in a bite.
– You’ll always forget some roast is chilling in the fridge, but with these, you’ll remember — they’re that unforgettable.
How to Make It
Okay, so here’s the deal: preheat that trusty oven to 425°F. Trust me, high heat is your best friend here for crispy edges. Grab those washed and quartered potatoes. Toss them like you’re a potato DJ with some olive oil, enough ranch seasoning to cover a small dog, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread them babies out on a baking sheet, not too close though — they need room to get their golden groove on. An absolute must-remember: shake them around halfway through roasting to avoid any burn drama on one side. You’ll know they’re done when a fork pierces through like butter, and you can’t resist the smell anymore. It’s magic.
Ingredient Notes
– Potatoes: Go for hearty ones like Yukon or red. Honestly, just avoid the ones that look like they’ve had better days.
– Olive Oil: Don’t drench them, but do enough for a nice even coat. Skip this, and it’s sad city for your taters.
– Ranch Seasoning: This is where the magic happens. You can make your own or use store-bought. I’ve totally used extra once, and let’s just say, no one complained.
Recipe Steps:
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Wash and quarter the potatoes.
3. Toss them with olive oil, ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper.
4. Spread them out on a baking sheet.
5. Roast until golden and crispy, tossing halfway through.
What to Serve It With
Tips & Mistakes
Start small with the seasoning if you’re a newbie. You can always add more, but you can’t un-taste overly Seasoned Potatoes of Doom.
Storage Tips
Got leftovers? (Ha, yeah right.) But seriously, pop them in an airtight container, toss ’em in the fridge, and gobble them up cold if you’re feeling wild. Breakfast potatoes are real, and they are wonderful.
Variations and Substitutions
Let’s get innovative, shall we? If you’re out of ranch, don’t cry — swap in Italian seasoning. Feeling fancy? A sprinkle of Parmesan at the end takes these to a whole new level. And I promise, skipping the ranch when desperate is just fine with some garlic powder and whatever else you have handy.
